2006 Summer Bioengineering Conference, Amelia Island, Florida, June 21-25, 2006

[06:22823]会议汇集了不同的生物工程研究专业，包括细胞和分子工程、组织工程和功能组织工程，重点是生物力学工程。主办机构包括美国机械工程师学会生物工程部（ASME-BED）、生物医学工程学会（BMES）、美国国家生物力学委员会（USNCB）和医学与生物学会电气与电子工程师学会（IEEE-EMBS）。项目委员会和全体会议发言人名单（来自学术界、工业界和卫生保健）代表了该领域的领导者。一本小册子将向与会者提供会议计划的详细内容。所有的技术报告都将是两页的扩展摘要，以CD的形式，免费分发给所有注册者。本活动亦会向所有赞助团体提供光碟副本。裁谈会将作为会议记录。之前的七届夏季生物工程会议都有杰出的女性和少数民族代表。今年的组委会包括几位女性：詹妮弗·韦恩（弗吉尼亚联邦大学）；Dawn Elliot（宾夕法尼亚大学）；米歇尔·格里姆（韦恩州立大学）。大量的学生代表以及会议的家庭友好气氛有助于促进妇女的参与。智力优势：本次会议是生物工程的首次会议，重点是生物力学工程。计划的讲座提供了重要的思想、概念、工具和方法的交叉施肥。更广泛的影响：本次会议除了将对主流生物工程界产生直接影响外，还将发挥重要的交叉作用。预计将有生物工程师、其他学科的工程师、细胞和分子生物学家、生物化学家、生物物理学家和其他科学家参加会议。因此，预计这次会议将比仅由生物工程社区参加的会议产生更广泛的影响。预计大约40%的与会者是学生。

0622823GoelThe Conference brings together disparate bioengineering research specialties including cell and molecular engineering, tissue engineering, and functional tissue engineering - with a focus on biomechanical engineering. Sponsoring organizations include the American Society of Mechanical Engineers-Bioengineering Division (ASME-BED), the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), the U.S. National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE-EMBS).The Program Committee and the Plenary speakers list (from academia, industry, and health care) represent the leaders in the field. A booklet will provide program details to the participants of the conference. All technical presentations will be two-page extended abstracts in a CD format, to be distributed free to all registrants. Copies of the CD will also be provided to all sponsoring societies. The CD is to serve as the proceedings of the meeting. All seven of the previous Summer Bioengineering conferences have had outstanding representation of women and minorities. This years organizing committee includes several women: Drs. Jennifer Wayne (Virginia Commonwealth University); Dawn Elliot (University of Pennsylvania); and, Michele Grim (Wayne State University). The large student representation, as well as the family-friendly atmosphere of the conference, has served to promote the involvement of women.Intellectual Merit: This conference is the premiere meeting for bioengineering with a focus on biomechanical engineering. The planned lectures provide important cross-fertilization of ideas, concepts, tools, and approaches. Broader Impact: In addition to the direct impact this conference will have on the mainstream bioengineering community, this meeting will serve an important cross-fertilization role. Bioengineers, engineers from other disciplines, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and other scientists are expected to participate in the meeting. Therefore, the conference is expected to have a much broader impact than if it were to be attended by just the bioengineering community. And, approximately 40% of the attendees are expected to be students.
